Ingredients
- 6 cups Lucky Charms cereal
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows (about 5 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Nonstick spray or butter for greasing pan
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter and set it aside for later use.
- Melt Butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add Marshmallows: Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
- Flavor Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
- Combine Cereal: Gently fold in the Lucky Charms cereal until all pieces are evenly coated with the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it evenly using a greased spatula or clean, damp hands to compact the treats.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set, then cut into 12 squares and serve.
Notes
- For extra marshmallow pockets, stir in 1 additional cup of unmelted mini marshmallows with the cereal before pressing into the pan.
- Use parchment paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan without sticking to your hands or spatula.
